It's amazing what people can do with a good publicist eh. Incredible to think how much Tiger Woods was adored and what a great person people thought he was until all the news about his affairs came out.

Probably not surprisingly that was brought up in several comments below the article.

In yesterday's match Fed gave a perfect example of his arrogance: when he wanted to challenge and the umpire did not let him, he started an argument. Finally, Lars Graff was called simply because Fed did not accept the decision. He may be convinced of still having the Fed bonus.

I had a ticket for the "Question of Sport" evening - with Ross Hutchins, one of the Olympic cyclists, and, I think, a footballer. I was called yesterday as it has been cancelled - lack of interest or other commitments perhaps, but hope Ross is doing OK. It did seem a bit of an odd mix, but it was local and I had my questions ready. Anyway, don't expect to see any reviews of the event.
